they did - insert in the warrant words relative to the notice of bail. Mr., Brtoll6llA3l was of opinion that the words need not be inserted in the warrant, 'becaute as soon as ever he was taken, he must give notice of bail to the magistrate before, he could he discharged. Mr. Justice PARK.--Under such circumstances, 1 shall certainly leave it to the discretion of.the magistrates; and I' have no' doubt that they , will exert all due caution upon the occasion. Then turning to Mr. Hopkins, " The warrant does not want my signature, we are sitting here in Balieo." After the case was thus ended, Mr: COLTMAN, who was one of the Counsel for the defendant, came into Court, Mr. Justice Park addressed him, and said, " your temp. niuttleas are forfeited,. Mr. Coltman, you need not come." The warrant was immediately issued, and placed with out delay hi the hands of a police-officer. It is not ex pected that Wakefield will be apprehended, as he had at least twelve hours start of the prosecutor. It is confi dently asserted that William Wakefield left Lancaster in female attire, and in the company of two ladies.

SENTENCE ON THE RIOTERS. —I Mr. Justice PARK% " am sorry to disturb the ladies whom I see before me, but the dock must be cieued, ladies, for there are sonic persons coming to the bar. far more. guilty I net sure than you ever have been, or are, likely to be in the course of your lives." The fair Quakeresses rose and left the Court, covered with blushes, which so curious> compliment, if compli ment it. is to be called, was certain to excites After they had retired, the persons convicted of rioting were brought into Court by tens at a time. The Learned Judge, In ordering sentence of death to be recorded against them, addressed the first ten to the 'following effect :—He was sorry to find that there were no less than 42 of his fellow creatures now labouring under a capital conviction. It was impossible in any country that was governed by law, that persons should be allowed to relieve them selves from distress by measures of violence. There had been, he understood, and he was sorry for it, a great pressure of distress in the districts which they inhabited, but individuals could not be permitted on that account to carve out for themselves their own mode of relief.— All the individuals who then stood in the bar before him appeared to have been grossly deluded; for by what they had done, they had not only destroyed the means of ob taining a livelihood for themselves, but had also deprived others of the power and the means of relieving them. Outrages like those which they had committed could not be tolerated in a civilized country, and persons who were guilty of them Might be certain that punishment would follow closely on the commission of such crime. The law affixed to the heinous offence of which they had been convicted the punishment of death. It was not his intention 'to carry that punishment into effect on the present occasion ; and he. should recommend His Majesty to extend his gracious pardon to them all, as far as affected their lives. His motive for adopting such a course was a hope that such lenity as had been shown towards them would have due effect in restoring such among them as should be returned to society to a better and more orderly frame of mind, and in convincing them that if they ventur ed on a repetition of such outrages, the law could reach them to the extent of their lives. It was the interest of them all to live an orderly and a virtuous life and the injury they did themselves by living any other kind of life was greater than any of them seemed to calculate; for if parents, sons, husbands, brothers, or friends, committed offences against the law, they involved all their relations in the ruin and misery which the sentence of the law brought upon themselves. Another motive which he had for saving their lives was, that most of them were young, and that though their outrages had been great, so far as property was concerned,. there had been no instance of their using violence to the person, in any, save one, of the attacks which they had made upon property. He had said that most of them were young; but there was one exception,. he meant that of a person called. Chambre. That individual was not . only . the oldest,. but also the most heinous offender ; he had been convicted on two in dictments for outrages, in which he had taken the most 'active, and also the most riotous part, and he had also been convicted on another indictment, which was not however of a capital nature, IC bad been his intention at one time, and indeed for several days, to have_ made an 'example' of Chambre by leaving him for execution, but he had at last deterMinad not to select hin t singly from the numbers who had,been convicted of similar offences. He should therefore suhMit his name, along with that of the other convicts, to the mercy of , his Majesty. lie would not say distinctly that the sentence upon him would not he carried into execution—for the decision did not rest with him, but with his Majesty, and with those who di reeted his Councils—he would only say that be believed it would not. Let them not, however, flatter themselves too strongly with the hope of life. If they escaped with their lives, they would sew Mire' t., ...46....4 +.. ...vertu punishment. He had another reason for pursuit% the pre sent. tonrue of lenity, and that. was, that. the Jury had re commended six of their nurnher to his favourable consi deitation, and to the mercy of their king. They made that application Upon grounds which appeared to him to extend to them all—he meant upon the pressure of the times, With respect to,sount of them, be must inform them, that though he had already .made a selection in his own own mind, the jurors had added a special. recommenda tion, which he assured them sholthl meet with every at tention, when he transmitted it to his Nbliesty's Govern ment. He trusted that tho dreadfol ex:amide which he was now compelled' to make—an example which, though it affected' not the lives, must still affect the situation of many of them—would afford a forcible lesson to all the inhabi tants of that great county, and would prove to them that no happiness or relief was tope expected from riot and dis order : but, on the contrary, that peace, good order, and tranquillity, were the most certain means of obtaining con solation and comfort . from those who were enabled by their fortunes to alleviate and administer to distress. lle then ordered sentence of death to be formally recorded, against them—This closed the assizes at the CroWn side. CIVIL. V. M'GILAW. This was an action on the warranty of a horse, for which the plaintiff had given the sum of 701. The case was one rather of a curious nature ' • the plaintiff being a horse-dealer, and complaining that he had been deceived in this horse, which he hell purchased as sound from the defendant; who was a tailor at Liverpool, and who, it ap peared froth the evidence, lived in great style, keeping five homeland three grooms. The horse was purchased in January, 1825, was returned in the following month, and was soon afterwards sold brauction for 301. Three veterinary surgeons were called to prove the unsoundness of the horse, which they did in the most satisfactory manner, 'declaring that the horse had a swelling on one of his fore legs, occasioned, as they believed, by the other striking against it. The consequence of this . swelling was, that whenever the horse had been driven a few miles, he went lame. This unsoundness, they swore, had existed for above a month before the sale; and one of the witnesses proved the warranty, stating, that he had heard the defendant say he sold the horse as a sound horse. For the defence, one of the three grooms was called, and stated that he had never seen the horse go lame. Mr. Baron HULLOCK told the Jury that the warranty was not denied; and if they believed the witnesses for the plaintiff, they must find that the horse was unsound at the time of the sale; in which , case the plaintiff would be enti tled to their verdict. The Jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 701. The body of u gentleman was mashed on shore yester day at Dalkey, immediately under the mine. He is dressed in a 'green frock coat, with eporting buttons, Oxford-grey trerwsers, and a pair of light new shoes. His face and other parts of his body are 110 much mutilated as ,to render it impossible to recognise him. The body is supposed to be that of Mr. Brennan, who was lost some weeks ago i n company with Mr. Long, of f Bray Head.— Dahlia Morning Register. - • St:Mt/11E0P A.N LTC IT DISTILLERY.— hopsgate diatillery was discovered at No. 3, Primrose-street, 14i'l f - tor of An illicit etreet, which was fitted up very ingeniously as a mann , colouring for spirituous liquors.

EXECUTION of A. and M. MIEAND. LANCASTER, Au n. 21. The whole neighbourhood, for miles round, was this morning thrown into a state of unusual excitement by the immense mass of people that kept crowding on towards the Castle, opposite St. Mary'. chttrch, *here a temporary scaffold had been erected for the execution of the two M'Xeandst. As early as six, o'clock every avenue leading to - the fatal spot was filled, for the eXeciitiott was appointed to take'_ place as early as seven, in.,order that the Judges, who, on their way to the Court, would have to pass that particular place, might not be offended by the sight of the sus pended corpses. At about half-past five o'clock, the two cri minals were conducted to the chapel, where they received the sa crament, and remah►ed absorbed in prayer for upwards of an hour. Alexander (the murderer) was fervent and sincere in devotion, ex hibiting, in all its intensest agony, a heart-broken and despairing spirit; but Michael was cold, collected, and sullen ; not, how ever, from fortitude, but from the natural operation of a vindictive, ungenerous nature. A few minutes after seven they were pinioned, when the Under Sheriff and his officers entered the chapel, and demanded, according to este blitthed form, the bodies of the two criminals. The procession then set forward from the chapel to the place of execution, at the exterior of the north-western part of the castle. Michael walked with a hesititing step, appearing now fur the first time dismayed, hut Alexander was more composed, and his lips moved from time to time in all the fervor of sincere prayer. As the clock from St. Mary's struck seven, a window which opens like a door, and which led to the place of execution, was thrown open, announcing that the hour of death had arrived. A hushed, dead stillness reigned at this moment throughout the mighty multitude, that had hitherto been swayed and moved to and fru like the billows of some agitated ocean. All eyes were di reeted towards the scaffold, at which in a few minutes appeared the murderers. Their appearance was frightfully impressive. ►Mi chael's countenance was distorted as if with convulsion, his eyes wild and staring—his lips blue and quivering—his cheeks bloodless and palsied with the fever of his apprehensions. He stood there upon the scaffold, a striking emblem of the power of the human passions, when suffered to riot untamed upon a naturally bad heart; while his brother Alexander seemed resigned and subdued to his fate. They remained for upwards of ten minutes engaged apparently in prayer with the clergyman in attendance, when the executioner approached to cover their faces with the caps. For one short minute, and just before the veil was bound over them, the eyes of both the brothers wandered in a quick restless manner over the crowd immediately below them, 'as if taking their last farewell of earth ; the signal was then given by the clergyman, the fatal bolt withdrawn, and the world closed fur ever on the mur derers. It seems that up to the period of hie execution, Michael, as being only an accessary, had indulged in the confident hope of a reprieve. So earnestly too had he asserted, not only his entire innocence of the crime, but even his utter ignorance of the fact itself, that the under Sheriff had deemed it right to make further enquiries : in consequence of this he waited on Mrs. hears, the woman who gave evidence of his identity, but finding that she still persibted in her statement, namely, that Michael was the man who stabbed her, he became satisfied of the justice of his sentence, and discon- tinned all further interference. When Alexander was informed of his brother's diclaration of innocence, he exclaimed " Oh God forgive lii►n ! he is guilty, and well he knows it : it was he who stabbed Mrs. Blears below stairs, while I murdered the woman in the room above, for which I hope God will forgive me, as I was drunk when I did it." . While on the subject, we will here just add a few words re specting the punishment of death. It is really a more awful con sideration than the law in England seems willing to acknowledge, to deprive a man of existence, while his unrepented crimes yet hang like dark shadows'on his mind; for any offence short of Mur der. We have Gospel authority—that is'the religious law of the land to authorize the one—while common humanity imperiously interdicts the other. . We allude more especially to the punish ment of forgery by . death; a singular instance in which the pro verbial generosity and good sense of Englishmen seem to be strangely cramped, and even extinguished. Is the immortal soul of man—that diviner essence of his being, which, in one state or ano ther, is doomed to survive throughout eternity, to he placed in the same scale of value with the basest dross of the country—the, com paratively speaking, worthless coin of the realm? God and hu manity forbid ! the bare idea is revolting to every principle of jos • tiee. In this present ease, however, the punishment was well pm.. portioned to thenthmee, for " he," says the Author of our religion, ' who fights by the sword amit expect to perish by the sword." i_II. , :TI2.E,S# IN I IZ4,A NI), 51EITING AT THY, ROYAL EVA!

FRENCH PAPERS. (From the _gale, dated Monday, August 21.) CONSTANTINOPLE.—Firmaun addressed by the Sultan to the Cadi of Constantinople, and by which the dissolu tion of the Janissaries was declared. Excellent Effendi, Cadi of Constantinople Every Mussulman knows that Islamism - owes its main tenance to the mildness and the purity of its principles, and that the Mabometan power is indebted for itp increase, which embraces the East and the West, only to the vic torious armies' of the believers, who are always ready to combat the enemies of the Faith. The Mussulmen, those 'warriors who believe in one only God, being necessarily divided from the beginning into different corps. The first .institution of this Sublime Porte, which may God pre serve to the end of time ! was that of the Odechak (corps) of the Janissaries. Bit your Sublime Sovereign has remarked, that the Ja nissaries, who had formerly gamed so many victories, and con quered so many countries by their courage in attack, and above all by their blind obedience to the orders of their mas ter, had insensibly degenerated, and become cowardly and mutinous : that these , troops, in the wars which have been carried on for this century past, have despised the orders of their chiefs—have been seized with consternation from the slightest causes—have spread terror by false news—quitted their ranks, and shamefully fled before the enemy, abandoning to them the fortresses and provinces : that dying this time the enemies of the faith, considering this degeneracy and cowardice as equally to be attributed to all IVlusselmen ) did not ceasedaily to importune us with fresh pretensions and demands. On the other hand, considering that the whole nation is bound by law to arm itself with the zeal of .the faith, and to find means to re sist, under the auspices of religion, the enterprises of the enemy; that it has convincingly shown in the . late wars that the enemy owed his superiority only to the exercise to which his troops had been accustomed; that since the wars of 1202 (1787), Attempts had been twice made to introduce that exercise into the army ; that the corps of Janissaries has shown itself unfavourable to the military manoeuvres; that it has disapproved, and always opposed, them; and that several sovereigns, who deserved to live as long as the world, have been the victims of the obsti nacy and the ferocity of this corps. _ _ In this state of things a General Council has been con voked in the palace, from which the decisions of, the law should emanate ; the august Viziers, the learned Ulemas, the Bedschalsf, (Ministers of State), and the Chiefs of the Janissaries themselves, were summoned to it. It was con sidered that the suspension of the Janissaries, who were an ancient corps, had never been thought of; that, how ever, they had long since been in the habit of sometimes obeying, and sometimes exciting sedition, as their caprice dictated; that they persisted in their ignorance. Lastly, that the enemies whose eyes were always upon us, seeing our position, had conceived the idea of attacking us on all sides. The holy union of the laws hiving been convoked in the Council, a nobleTetwa, the emanation of the light of the law, and accompanied by a Hodschet (legal document), signed by all the Members of the Council, proclaimed the following decision :-- With a view to revive.the word of God, and to render vain the stratagems by which the infidels have obtained their superiority, the Museelmen also on their side : 1. Shall arm themselves with the zeal of the faith, nod Shall submit to subordination ;-•-- 2. Shall learn the military exercise, which is the only means of resistance to be employed under present circum stances ; and lastly, in order to obey the general wish and public voice of the nation, the corps of Janissaries, with out. any change in its tncient statutes, and without any in fringement of its pri , Aleges, shall furnish 150 men from each troops e t ln known' P to i h yt e incorporated henameof with i‘ivai t he new exerc ised inuindie eiplined infantry). • (Brow Lite - Constautionnel.) PAW% AUG. 19, —We have been often obliged t o ob serve how neee*ssw...:‘ with distrust, the statements of the Ministerial Journals, A recent owl , proves in a still stronger manner, the necessity (a using caution in repeating any thing they may have published. We published in the anstitutionnfl of the 25th July last, giving at the same time our authority, the Constitu tional Charter of Portugal, from the translated text that appeared in the II:toile. NuMber 173 of the Gazette of the Portuguese Govern ment, now lying before its, of the date'of 26th July last, contains direct proof that a most important suppression had been made in that translation, relative to tie Liberty of the Press, consecrated by the Portuguese Charter. This suppression serves to unveil most openly, the secret liking which the organs of the congregation have shown for a Censorship. The third paragraph of the 1456 'Article of this Charter, rims thus in the official Portuguese text: " Todos poden communicar es seus pensamentos por palavras, escriptos e ruhlicallos pela i m p rensa ter n dependeneia de ita censura. [Every person can commu nicate his thoughts by words, writings, or publications in print, without subjection to a Censorship.]- 7 -The transla tion of the last most essential words, "without dependence on a Censorship," was suppressed in the Etoile, no doubt, through design. (From the Quolidienne.) A French frigate from the Greek Archipelago, arrived on the 13th of August, in the roads of Toulon, where she g o t f ia t r h an a tin na e t . ur T e he o y f k th n e ew ne n w ot a hi a n h g a at Marseilles, is sn performingth e 14th, brought from the, East. The Prince of Polignac left Ruy en Veiny on the 17th of Aug.; he passed a day at Lyons, an d i s expected to arrive in aria to-morrow or the . day after. M. Cazales, son of the celebrated orator of the Consti tuent Assembly, took the oaths to-day as Judge of the Tribunal of Previns. The daily increasing troubles which have broken out in Portugal, in consequence of the oath taken to the Consti tution, are confirmed from all quarters. The new system is nothing more than a re-action of the Cortes, effected tin der the auspices of England; the soundest and most nume rous portion of the Portuguese nation rejects an order of things, which tends to undermine the religious and monar chical notions of the nation. Jr. appears certain, that after the-ceremony of the coro nation of Nicholas, as King of Poland, an interview will take place between that Monarch and the King of Prussia. The city of Posen is mentioned as' the place where the two Sovereigns will meet. Amonat the number of thdile who left Frankfort on the Maine immediately after Prince De Metternich, we no ticed M. De Tatischeff, Minister Plenipotentiary of Russia at the Court ofAustria ; it is supposed he was going to Johannisberg. His Excellency the Viscount Rezenda, Brazilian Am bassador at the Court of Vienna, his Charge d'Affaires, the Chevalier Almeida, and their suites, have passed through Brussels,, on their way from London, and have continued on their route to German y. M. Rezenda i s deputed to present to the Emperor of Austria the O r d er of the Founder of the Empire of Brazil. muLANcnoLle INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATII.- The Subscribers at Lloyd'a were thrown into, considerable alarm yesterday afternoon, by the sudden death of Mr. Barnard J. Gr a ff, a very old and respectable Underwriter. It appears that Mr. Graff, at about a quarter to three o'clock, was returning home from lunch, and having obtained the top of th e sta i rcase , leading to the Subscription Room, was observed to lean against the rail» ing, and soon, afterwards dropped clown. One of the waiters, on raisin 4 his head, heard a rattling in the throat. He was con veyed into the Committee Room, and expired immediately. Medical aid was immediately called in, but to no purpose, as the vital spark had fled. The body now lies in the Committee Room await. ink; the Corener's inquest.--The deceased has been for sonic time subject to a dropsical complaint, was about 70 years of age, and had been a Membir of Lloyd's for about 50 years.
